Trouble viewing Panasonic P2 in Premiere Pro

I want to convert a ton of old videos into a better codec for archiving and accessing in the future, but I can't seem to open any of my P2 files using my Mac Mini M2 Pro (16 GB, macOS 13.6.6) through Premiere Pro 2024 (24.6.3), Premiere Pro 2025 (25.0.0), or DaVinci Resolve 19 (19.1). Premiere gives me an error and Resolve doesn't even register the files (folder, clips, or XML)

I've tried finding old p2 viewing software but P2 CMS and P2 Viewer Plus aren't updated to work with this MacOs.

Any advice??

Try an older OS on a virtual machine and use plugins from Panasonic,

maybe they still have older plugins...

did you try Handbrake?

Good idea! I'll look into using a virtual machine.
re: Handbrake - I haven't used it in years and don't remember it opening p2
files, but I could be wrong. I'll double check! Thank you!
